Greetings all;
I'm running pclos-2011, up to date as of an hour ago, but every time I try
to run digikam (it is 1.9.something from the pclos repos) I find new
breakage, today it lost all the albums, which I always thought was a
solution looking for a problem. But obviously, with no albums recognized,
it cannot import from my camera.
I finally did get dolphin to download the images I wanted, (a first for
dolphin, it actually worked, but then I'm an old mc fan) and put them where
I wanted, so I did get the prints for a nominally $50,000 tv transmitter
move onto paper eventually by way of gimp and gutenprint.
Then I checked, downloaded the digikam 2.2.something git repo, followed
instructions and tried to issue the cmake version of autoconfig. It
toddles along, finding stuff up to Exiv2, version .21 it needs but I have
version .20. This is rapidly descending into dependency hell, since I have
already pulled in, with synaptic, about 120 *-devel files to get this far.
I would rather not descend into this so far I might as well install one the
build it all from scratch distributions like gentoo.
What, if anything, can I do about this error:
[...]

And of course it bails out.
The suse version on rpmfind needs a bunch of kde-4.7.2 stuff and I still
have 4.6.5 IIRC. And they have no builds between 1.9.0 and 2.2.0.
Thanks for any help, or maybe a pointer to some other Just Works(TM)
substitute for digikam.
Cheers, Gene
